The Doors - Been Down so Long Lyrics

Artist: The Doors

Album: Miscellaneous

  • Songwriters: John Densmore, Robbie Krieger, Ray Manzarek, Jim Morrison

Well, I've been down so goddamn long
That it looks like up to me
Well, I've been down so very damn long
That it looks like up to me

Yeah, why don't one you people
C'mon and set me free

I said, warden, warden, warden
Won't you break your lock and key?
I said, warden, warden, warden
Won't you break your lock and key?

Yeah, come along here, Mister
C'mon and let the poor boy be

Baby, baby, baby
Won't you get down on your knees?
Baby, baby, baby
Won't you get down on your knees?

C'mon little darlin'
C'mon and give your love to me, oh yeah

Well, I've been down so goddamn long
That it looks like up to me
And I've been down so very damn long
That it looks like up to me

Yeah, why don't one you people
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon and set me free
